More Leroy

I got a little taste for more Leroy Burgess since I posted the Black Ivory song a couple of days ago. Leroy Burgess, a true legend, involved, behind and singing on projects like The Fantastic Aleems, Logg, Slippery People, Bumblebee Unlimited, Convertion, Phreek and more. There are a lot of big producers out there but not many have been so consistent in delivering good dance music until today. So here's some songs with Leroy Burgess.

Henry Lumpkin - I've Got A Notion

I thought it was time for a motown moment once again since it's been a while since last time. This song is a song that stops the time for me. Whatever I'm doing I'll have to stop and just listen and sing-a-long to this beautiful piece. Written by George Fowler, Brian Holland and Robert Bateman. Produced by Berry Gordy. Ladies and gentleman, Henry Lumpkin.

More Music To The Masses

Hey!
There's a lot of records that I've bought during the last months that I have wanted to share with you but there is so little time. I have always wondered how bloggers find the time to write and post stuff everyday. Anyway, I'll start posting a lot of songs now, but I will not write so much about the songs since I lack the time to do it. Please comment if you'd like to know anything about a track or so.

Much Love Disco Dave.

Mike's List

Pat Benatar - Love Is A Battlefield (Special Extended Remix)

"Pat Benatar?" Yes! And it's a strong number that's being delivered as well. Personally I think this extended version remixed by John Jellybean Benitez is better than the album version. Especially the guitar part in the end. It's a song I've liked for a long time but for some reason I hadn't posted it before, so here you go.

Pat Benatar - Love Is A Battlefield (Special Extended Remix) /mediafire

Denise LaSalle - I'm So Hot

Denise LaSalle - I'm So Hot /mediafire
from the LP I'm So Hot (MCA 1980)

Barbara Mason - Darling Come Back Home

This Philly chick debuted as early as the mid 60's and mostly recorded sweet soul music on labels such as Curtom and Buddah. When the lovely 70's came with it's funky disco music she started recording for Prelude and West End, and man are we thankful for that. This song remains one of her very best in my opinion.

Barbara Mason - Darling Come Back Home /mediafire
from the LP I Am Your Woman, She Is Your Wife (Prelude 1978)

East Coast - The Rock

Here's one cool piece of wax that I bought about a month ago. The thing that got me hooked on this song the first time I heard it was that The Supermen Lovers had sampled it to their hit Starlight. Although the sampled part of the song is great, the whole track stands strong on its own. Enjoy!

East Coast - The Rock /mediafire
from the 12" The Rock (Family 1978)
